BEFoRE an alien can be admitted TO

clare on oath that he will support the
constitution of the United States. 1t
must Furthermore appear TO the salts
faction of tho Court admitting him that
during the five years he has lived here
che has behaved as a man of good moral
character, attached TO the principles OF
the constitution of the United States,
and well disposed TO the good order and
happiness of the same.n That IS the law
as laid down in the Revised Statutes of
the United States, The law allows and
the courts comedies the broadest freedom
of personal opinion. But man who de-
clares, as Most did, that he viii obey only
such laws as he considers good, and who
elaine, as he did, the right TO resist by
force such az he does not like, is not only
unfit to become citizen, but to natural

to obey its laws or pay the penalty of
their violation. Rad laws may be repeal
ed in the proper way, but they are not to
be defied and trampled under foot with
impunity. Whoever is not willing TO
subscribe to these wholesome principles
has no claim to American citizenship.

GOLD LEAF this week to chronicle the
death of another one Of our citizens. Mr..
Henry I. Jordan a prominent member Of
the Henderson Bar, and well known and
highly esteemed gentleman, died at his
home in this place last Thursday morning,
after a lingering illness OF several months.
Mr.. Jordan was man of excellent parts,
and his integrity and virtue shore no less
resplendently among those who know him,
than did his splendid intellect. lie was a
close student and read TO good purpose.
He was clear and strong thinker and a
bold and incisiye writer. Mr.. Jordan was
a native Of Person county and represented
it in the Legislature for several terms lie
was a man of recognized ability and at the
time of his death was the senior member
of the Bar of Henderson. He was a mem
Der of the Methodist Episcopal church an,,

church work. Dir. Don Jordan at one time
pastor of the Presbyterian church in this
place was brother of The deceased. An
other brother Mr.. Matt Jordan, of Dan
Vile, also survives him.
The funeral took place from the Metho-
dist church Friday afternoon, and tie large
concoarse Of people who turned out to pay
the last sad tribute Of respect to the mem-
DRY Of the deceased showed the high es-
TEEN in which he was held. The service
was conducted by the pastor Rev. j. ID.
Arnold, his remarks touching upon the So
lemnity Of death rather than eulogistic of
the dead. The pall-bearers were MeSsrs

A few days ago poor, but honest,
German laborer was caught in the act
of tearing down one of f. G.. Davis

explain, he made the following apology
"Vell," he said, 81 read by the bill

1t is needless to say that he was &C

winter.

Eminent physicians all agree that
by not properly protecting their feet
from dampness and wet, many people
bring upon themselves diseases which
are often attributed to other causes by
people less wise. The doctors are
right, and those who wish to have
warm, dry feet all winter should buy
their ruboers and winter shoes at T..
G.. Davis Store.
The Bard of Ayr wrote the some
what melancholy lines commencing
when chill Noyember's bitter winds,
Make countless thousands imourn."
| These lines have been immortalized
and their repetition will always bring
back fond memories of pleasant hours
spent with the poets. Still, our lines
at the present time will possess, if any
thing, a greater interest to the readers
of the COD LEAF. Our strain is more
Joyous we would Put it thus:
| When chill Noyember's biting winds,

Not many days ago a school teacher

greatest number of benefits on the
greatest number of people"
"1'hen who in this city for instance.
do you consider lives up to that phi

Without a moments hesitation the lit

the omission of the order of sales. We
know their importance. and whenever it
has been possible to get them we have

changes about the number of warehouses
to be, the sales committee have thought it
best at times not to publish them until
there could be a certainty of their correct

OUR MAN ON THE OUTSID Z.
CHIPS FROM A. HATCHETT.

Our people were much gratified at the
performances of the Meyer-Thorne Comp&-
ny at Burwell Hall this week On Mon
day night they rendered "A Woman's Devo-
ton" with fine effect every part being we'll
sustained, and every thing gotten out of it
that was in it. LIN this play the acting of
Miss Bonnie Meyer, J. Ii. Thorne and
Frank Anderson as lock keeper, was ex-
ceptionally good. Tuesday night they gave
lis the popular Western Comedy Drama
NJ Liss." In this play there is very much
more room for acting" than in 'Woman's
Devotion and some few of the minor parts
were not SO we'll sustained as in the
Monday nights performance, though the
defects were so slight the highly pleased
audience scarcely detected them. On last
night the " Rebel Chief" the speciality of
this Company, vas played with universal
satisfaction. Manager BurwelI deserves
great credit for getting such good Compa-
MES here and our people should appreciate
his effects in this direction ana give him
more liberal support.
Some very intelligent men are under the
impression that when they subscribe for q
newspaper it is not due till the time ex-

would not become due during a natural
life. Newspapers are caah IN Gte@nce, and
if by req son of personal friendship. this is
not demanded, it does not alter the fact it
is due. Those whose circumstances are
cramped no good man Will harass, but
people who handle their hundreds and

no apology for withholding from the poor
printer two Or three years pay for the paper.

of our friends there are concerned at the

probably not have been built had she not
